About this service

A rapid diagnostic test with a result in about twenty minutes, in clinic or at home. If it is positive and uncomplicated, a doctor prescribes and we start treatment in the same visit. If the test is negative we look for another cause rather than treating anyway.

What's included

  • Rapid diagnostic test with a result in about 20 minutes
  • Temperature, pulse and hydration assessment
  • Doctor review of the result
  • Treatment started the same visit where appropriate
  • Clear advice on what warrants going to hospital

Frequently asked questions

Is the medication included in the price?

The test, the assessment and the doctor review are. Any prescribed medication is charged separately, and we tell you the cost before dispensing.

What if the test is negative but I still feel unwell?

Then it is not malaria and treating for it would waste time. The doctor will work through other causes and order further tests if needed.
